New traffic restrictions on Red River Street and DeLeon Street will begin on Wednesday.

Red River Street will be closed between Sam Houston Drive and Del Papa Street for waterline and sewer line construction. Also, the street will be open to eastbound traffic only between Ben Wilson and Del Papa streets.

Construction is expected to take about four weeks. All business and parking lots in the work zone will be accessible via alternate routes.

DeLeon Street will be reduced to one-lane northbound between Church and Convent streets for the construction of a waterline. The project is expected to take one week.

On-street parking will be prohibited and drivers are advised to use alternate routes.
